Re: How to read out my NanoVNA's firmware version
if nothing there in your firmware (no info in boot logo or no version menu) try simply "version" or "info" via serial terminal. But honstly, who cares? just download the latest version and enjoy

Re: errors of "error" models
Hello, Allow us, please, to we report that in order to be adequately prepared to estimate the uncertainty in NanoVNA measurements using complex differential error regions and real differential error

Re: Analyzing Noise versus Leakage on CH1
The FFT assumes that you have a perfect fit of the (co)sinus in the sample range. At higher frequencies the 5kHz start to deviate so the samples may no longer fit perfectly in the fft and you may get

Re: Further Comments on Resistive Bridges
Ok, looked at the source code and it seems that 2mA is used in fundamental mode and 8mA for harmonic (above 300MHz). This should make a big difference in Si5351 output impedance, isn't it? The

Re: Further Comments on Resistive Bridges
What is the Si5351 drive strength being set? 2mA? Is it being increased at >300MHz harmonic bands? It's output impedance may not be 50ohm, and it could be even changing depending on the band. Also

Re: Analyzing Noise versus Leakage on CH1
I've been continuing my investigation into improving the nanovna's dynamic range above 900MHz, and have some further results to share. Theory tells us that dynamic range can be improved by increasing

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
yes, you're wrong with these assumptions. First, voltage suppressor diodes have about 10-15 pF. It works like low-pass filter with cut-off at about 400 MHz. VNA can compensate it by calibration, but

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
Here are a few comments about diodes and ESD issues for your consideration. I agree that limiter diodes will cause issues; however, the devices I suggested above are not typical limiter diodes.

Re: Comparing antenna gain process
It is possible. For example 145 MHz antenna has near field range about 1 meter. So, you can place two antennas for example 4 meters away from each other. Signal loss at 4 meters for 145 MHz will be 28

Re: NanoVNA Saver 0.0.9 screen size and saving screen questions
I assume this is the firmware changing what is output depending on what mode is selected on the device. If there's a command to reset it, I guess I could do that, but it didn't exist when I made the

Re: Finger tightening SMA connections
I think a torque wrench on a nanoVNA is overkill. The ringing I observed was well above the maximum frequency range. The issue is getting *consistent* connections. Any time you change the sweep

Re: Comparing antenna gain process
This is a fantastic idea Ken. Just get your "reference" receive antenna as far away as you can and preferably in an open space. Make sure you are not picking up stray radiation from the CH0 "transmit"

In combination with FW ch.dfu (edy555_0.1.1.9): I discovered today that with NanoVNA Saver v0.0.10 you may NOT set the LCD of the Nano to TDR. Otherwise, the screens in Saver 10 are not correct. Well,
